Because Romney went against the Bush plan for illegal amnesty, at which point Bush supported McCain and crushed Romney’s candidacy. Romney is clearly viewed as an insurgent by Bush’s neocon team.
Surely they must know that Romney will take any position he has to in order to win. It’s hardly as though he has any deeply held convictions about immigration or anything else for that matter.
I dunno...this all sounds pretty flimsy to me.
Oh, and again. What is a neo-con?
